Overview

Coolah sits in the central western part of New South Wales within Warrumbungle Shire, with 1,290 residents recorded in the 2016 Census. Set against the Liverpool Range and Coolah Tops National Park, the town enjoys a rural lifestyle framed by sheep and cattle grazing and cropping along the Talbragar and Coolaburragundy River valleys. The name derives from a Port Jackson Pidgin English term meaning “angry,” reflecting its unique heritage.

Local amenities include Coolah Central School, the nearby Bowen Oval and Swanston Park, and the heritage‑listed Old Police Station and Courthouse on Binnia Street. Community sport thrives through junior rugby league and netball teams, and the town hosts Australia’s first Long Tan memorial avenue. While the Coolah railway line operated from 1920 to 1975, today the Coolah Hospital Airport provides regional air access, and a variety of dwellings line the town’s streets.
